周日统计的地方选举最终结果显示，非洲人国民大会取得了有记录以来最差的成绩，仅获得31%的选票。亲商业的民主联盟作为该国第二大政党，获得了25%的选票。非国大的支持率主要流失给了分裂出来的小党，其中包括由深陷丑闻的前总统雅各布·祖马领导的“民族之矛党”，该党在首次参加市政选举中获得了10%的选票。
Final results for local elections tallied Sunday showed the worst result on record for the African National Congress, which won just 31% of the votes cast. The pro-business Democratic Alliance, the country’s second-most popular party, won 25% of the vote. ANC support has mostly dissipated among splinter parties, including uMkhonto weSizwe, headed by scandal-ridden former President Jacob Zuma and which won 10% of the vote in its first municipal elections.
